Subject:   Best way to filter "Nachi pings"?
Message-ID:  <200310270731.AAA23485@lariat.org>

We're being ping-flooded by the Nachi worm, which probes subnets for
systems to attack by sending 92-byte ping packets. Unfortunately,
IPFW doesn't seem to have the ability to filter packets by length.
Assuming that I stick with IPFW, what's the best way to stem the
tide?
